For most of us who are importing, the delay with Bluestreak means we'll be waiting another month on top of Prowl's release for him to be shipped. It's getting beyond exciting to the point of being annoying and frustrating. Why can't TakaraTomy announce a realistic schedule to begin with instead of pushing back every second Masterpiece release?

At this point though it's no longer a gift horse in the mouth. The marketing machine stopped being that when Hasui kept hyping the figure up this month when it had become delayed and most of us were anticipating it. The last couple of teasers have been more like what happens when someone carries a joke too far and people start getting ticked off by it.

Yeah, I know what you mean now. Thats like I tell you that I made a new magic trick but I don't show you it for a entire year or so and that whole time I'm telling you all about it and showing you the props and equipment but then I delay showing you the trick, after a while the intended spectators are going to be saying shut up about it already, lol.

Optimus: The Decepticons are a species of life just like us Autobots. They deserve a choice.Bumblebee: You are rite Optimus, your compassion and courage is what makes you a great leader, bearer of the matrix.Grimlock: I will Crush the Decepticons, I will Destroy, Dinobots transform, I'm ready for anything, Attaaaaack, No survivorsssssss.

lol, his hands do look close to the size of his head and it's a shame Prowl wasn't a female autobot cuz with that kind of forward depth on the chest... hot damn!

all kidding aside, he looks awesome and I don't mind the delay in hopes that they were fine tuning or making fixes in the production process. Honestly the wait between first reveal and release of these figures run so long (I think it's been about a year since the first non-silhouette shot was released), that I just ignore release dates until TFS tells me my order was shipped. It's kind of a shame that he's so chesty, but even the masterpieces look better from some angles than others.

That shot on one leg makes me think the weight distribution and strength of the joints on this guy should be superb.

I just completed after 30 years, G1 Season1 and 2 Decepticons!My Transformers purchasing habits1. Not hung up or hate scale. MP, Legend, Voyager I'll take 'em all. 2. Price is indeed a big factor but if its a need to own one even if I have to eat "Scooby Snacks " for a month then so be it.3. I tilt towards Tomy products over Hasbro because it's got lots'a bling (Legends Jetfire being the exception)

I would so love a toy of that. It's so garish and so retro. A whole line of concepts! Now that's a concept!

There were a few interesting Diaclone and Microchange concepts we never saw- like Battle Convoy's shoulder Cannon, Megatron's add-ons turning into a buggy and MC-22. Something really has to be said for the designs of the late 70s and early 80s.
